How can I add a suffix to filename that keeps changing?


  • Subject: How can I add a suffix to filename that keeps changing?
  • From: Mike Galke <email@hidden>

If I put files into a folder for backup to another remote server, I'd like to be able to have a number appear within the filename, e.g.: "mike" becomes "mike1", then "mike2", etc. I know about using the wording "with replacing", but that's not what I want, as that would just keep the file name the same. Basically, as many times as I'd like to drag 'n drop (or script)a file to that folder--if it already exists, I'd simply like to change the file's name to reflect the incremental number e.g.: .1, .2, .3., thereby keeping each of the generations of that file.

Thanks!

Mike
